- 4. A French scientist renowned for his work and subsequent discovery into the evidence of radioactivity for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903.
- 7. He was the first black technologist to register with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. After being denied membership in the segregated local organization in the 1950’s
- 10. Published one of the first textbooks ever written on diagnostic and therapeutic radiology, “The Practical Application of the Roentgen Rays in Therapeutics and Diagnosis.”
- 13. She took and passed the first every exam to earn a certificate from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist in 1922. The exam consisted of 10 films and 20 essay questions, and she passed with room to spare.
- 15. Best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electrical supply system. Also conducted a range of experiments with mechanical oscillators/ generators, electrical discharge tubes, and early x-ray imaging.
- 18. Often considered the father of interventional radiology who in 1964 performed the very first peripheral angioplasty, and made many other major contributions in this field.
- 19. One of the two electrical engineers responsible for inventing the x-ray computed tomography scan in 1971.
- 20. : These two individuals are considered the inventors of the PET-CT scanner. This scan uses two technologies simultaneously to add a precise anatomic localization to functional imaging.
- 21. A pioneer in the field of radiographic education standardization, authoring the radiographic positioning textbook, which is still in print to this day.
Down
- 1. Made medical history by carrying out the first computed tomography scan on a live patient, revealing a detailed image of a brain tumor.
- 2. A pioneering radiologist who played a pivotal role in establishing radiology as a specialty in its own right.
- 3. They are remembered for their co-development of MRI, for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology in 2003.
- 5. A quantitative measure of radio density used in evaluating CT scans.
- 6. In 1895 this physicist discovered x-ray radiation and its ability to produce images of bones.
- 8. She was the first woman ever to receive a Nobel Prize. She used her newly discovered element, radium, to be the gamma ray source on x-ray machines. This allowed for more accurate and stronger x-rays. She also created smaller and portable x-ray machines that could be used by medics in the field.
- 9. Edison: He was able to develop the first fluoroscopic device, published in Scientific American in 1896.
- 11. Number 56 on the Periodic Table of Elements, barium is a key tool for radiology and radiography
- 12. One of the first people to focus on the details that created quality X-ray images, such as exposure and positioning. He served as an examiner during the initial efforts to license personnel who took X-rays. He has been referred to as "the father of radiography
- 14. : The first Obstetrician and Physician who used ultrasound imaging in his medical practices.
- 16. A German-born, American radiologist who pioneered the development of anti-scatter grids in projection radiography with his invention, the Bucky diaphragm.
- 17. He can proudly take responsibility for one of the great medical breakthroughs of the 20th century – the invention of the MRI machine. He is also known as the “father of MRI”
